Platform Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

A complete traffic intelligence platform built for modern agencies.

Analytics Engine

Six dimensions of traffic intelligence

From real-time monitoring to long-term planning, every angle is covered.

Core Analytics

Aggregate, visualize, and query traffic data from any provider through a unified interface.

  • Real-time data collection from multiple providers
  • Interactive dashboards with live updates
  • Pattern and trend analysis (DoD/WoW/MoM)
  • Custom queries and historical data import

Safety Analytics

Proactive safety monitoring that identifies risks before they become incidents.

  • Real-time near-miss detection
  • Conflict zone identification
  • Intersection safety scoring
  • Pedestrian and cyclist safety monitoring
  • Automated safety reports

Predictive Analytics

AI-powered forecasting that spots problems before they happen.

  • AI anomaly detection (Z-score, sudden change, data gaps)
  • Congestion forecasting
  • Pattern-based prediction
  • Incident likelihood scoring
  • Automatic model retraining

Network Analytics

Understand how traffic moves across your entire network, not just individual intersections.

  • Corridor analysis
  • Travel time analysis
  • Route performance metrics
  • Segment-level metrics
  • Origin-destination analysis

Operations Analytics

Keep your signal network running at peak performance with real-time operational insights.

  • ATSPM metrics (Automated Traffic Signal Performance)
  • Signal performance monitoring
  • System health dashboards
  • Alert management
  • Data freshness monitoring

Planning Analytics

Data-driven planning tools that quantify the impact of every decision you make.

  • Before/after study framework
